At present coal ears are heiiti; used to haul munitions and oilier war goods to seaboard, while the people suffer for lack of coal. With private ownership, railroads send ears where, they will earn most. IJttt the interstate com merce commission is impotent, to direct the shipments. It can onlv protest, and so far it has not even done this. Millions of bushels of wheat are being held in terminal elevators by speculators to boost the price. No govern ment official hits power to make it move. Thousands of harvest hands are slowly drifting back east on the "bumpers" and in "side-door I'ullmans," when they should be hurried back to the mines and factories in special passenger trains. ' This same situation occurs every year in more or less aggravated form. And this artificial shortage fixes the nation's prices for its winter supplies. Whether or not this shortage is intentional, it lias the effect of creating an annual monopoly of food and coal in the hands of a few speculators. This lnonopolv is onlv temporarv, but it is sufficient to enable theiii to collect tribute of hundreds of millions from the people. it cannm, ie prevented uy prosecutions, price iixiug, or lolitical palaver. The evil must be prevented at its source.
